Recovering from a back injury

Tweet

I strained muscles in my back by doing too much housecleaning. Last night it caught up to me. I was so tired that I ate supper then laid down to sleep at 5:30 p.m. I did not get back up till this morning at 4 a.m. The emergency room doctor put me on Tramadol for the pain and gave me a shot of demerol and phenergan because I was having spasms all the way down my back. Now I am waiting for my primary care physician to send a referral to an orthopedic doctor because I need to get my scoliosis checked on anyway. It is difficult to follow instructions not to do much bending and not to lift anything heavier than five pounds.
